After a long hiatus, the Com-cast returns as Simon and Jackson discuss what has happened in gaming since the last podcast, as well as the bright and interesting future for digital board games.

In this episode, Simon, Alex, Max, and MilleniumMaster18 take the time to go over everything that happened at E3 2014. Join us as we go over what was showcased at Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft and EA's press conferences.

On this episode of the Com-cast, Simon, Alex and Max welcome aboard Wilfred Brownell as a guest to discuss the experiences of being a minority in the gaming industry and how the issue continues to evolve.

Just in time to commemorate two whole years of existence, Alex, Simon, and Max sit down to talk about what's happened in the last year to both GameDistiller and WikiGameGuides, as well as where they think both sites are headed in the future.

This week on the Com-cast, in response to listener feedback we bring in a friend to help us sort out what's what in the world of indie games.  

As we reach the end of another year, gathered together with our family enjoying milk, cookies and new games we at GameDistiller would like to take the time to try and figure out which games were the very best this year. Alex, Simon, and a whole host of special guests get together to try and work it out.

Due to a series of unfortunate events, this episode is late in the making, but Simon and Max do their best to bring it back up to speed by talking about a new divergence in video games, and how that's bending traditional concepts of singleplayer and multiplayer games.

In this incredibly delayed episode of the podcast, Simon, Alex, and special guest John Tarr discuss their trip to RTX 2013 and the differences between attending a convention as a fan and as members of the press.

On this episode of the podcast, Simon and Alex welcome on the crew behind the Natural Double d-20s: Ben, Michael, and Jackson, and together they pick their way through the torrents of gaming news that comprise E3.

On this edition of the Com-cast, Alex and Simon look at the rapid rise and even more rapid fall of the rhythm genre, taking a look at what exactly made its star burn so bright for so short a time.

On this episode of the podcast, Simon and Alex begin to evaluate the long and storied history of the now defunct Lucasarts by evaluating the innovation in its games in the early days, and the subsequent erosion of in-house creativity and improvement that led to its eventual demise.

Finally back to the normal schedule, Simon and Alex catch up on some backlogged listener comments and then discuss the purpose and future of Achievements.

After another long hiatus (this time actually warranted), Alex and Simon are back to commemorate the 1st anniversary of Gameinsight! They welcome on John Tarr as a guest, and discuss how far their sites and the industry have come in the past year, and provide some thoughts on what the landscape might look like a year from now.  

On this episode of the Com-cast, Simon and Alex welcome on Andrew Alliance, founder of The Show Radio gaming site and podcast, to read and discuss listener feedback, and then move to tackle another complex topic submitted by Whiplash... on revisiting the Mass Effect 3 ending, and where Mass Effect 4 might go.

Finally our choices for Games of the Year are revealed, and we jump into a possible future hybrid of traditional games with in-game purchases and separately sold components.

The Gameinsight crew welcomes back John Fenix to the podcast and also Ben Mazzara, as all four finish up discussion of video game storytelling and move on to nominations for the best games and DLC of the year, and a special segment looking forward to the most anticipated games of 2013.

Whiplash is welcomed on the podcast this week as he responds to John's arguments and gets some substantial support for his own position.
